Last month Drs. Tapia & Desai performed the first single site hysterectomy in Volusia and Flagler counties. This innovative technique involves a single incision through the umbilicus (navel) and special instrumentation to allow surgery through\u00a0the small incision. This results in an invisible scar and minimal recovery time. This technique is not only applicable to hysterectomies, but can be also utilized to remove ovarian or tubal masses, as well as other gynecological procedures and is part of our A.I.M.I.S\u00a0 training and certification (http:\/\/www.aimis.org\/<\/a>). Insurance companies would consider coverage of this type of surgery\u00a0no differently than any other type of\u00a0 gynecological surgery and your hospital stay would be at most one night (what is known as a 23 hour observation for hospital coverage purposes). We have enclosed some pictures (warning: operating room pictures!!!). Please call or email if you have any questions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 removal of the uterus through the incision<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0immediately after closure<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0six weeks post-surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last month Drs.
